CGiii Comment
Morel rarely disappoints...here, he delivers a highly polished, 3 act study of the (gay) generational divide.
Male prostitution from a different angle...throw in a touch of bisexuality, those unattained dreams, a child and a killer...it's easy to see that this could have become a cluttered mess.
With Morel at the helm, he steers clear of exaggeration and spectacle - understatement with underlying malice and complexity.
A fine film.

The(ir) Blurb...
Vassili is an aged prostitute with killer instincts. He finds an unconscious young man in the Forest of Boulogne and takes him home. Now lovers and accomplices, the two men become a couple in prostitution and steal from their clients. And yet, menaces of retaliation leave the couple with no choice but to escape from Paris.
